Potted Cheese

What to do with those tiny rinds and bits of left-over or dried out cheese? Grind and mash them with some butter, even a few bits of shallot or garlic and use to spread on bread before toasting for croutons in salad or soup or dab on grilling meats to impart a piquant glaze. Bits of bleu cheese make for a very tasty mixture.

If you really feel decadent, eat it by the spoon straight out of the crock and wash it down with a chope [mug] of beer!

Explore with me 18thC French cuisine as a habitante in Nouvelle France may have cooked. After the F&I War, and again after the Revolutionary War, habitantes were surrounded and overrun by Anglo and other American influences. By the end of the 18thC, new foods and new methods of cooking would change her culture forever.
